What can be done for these vertical lines under my eyes...they are extended lines down my cheeks when I smile (and I smile a lot) I have had botox/dysport injected into my crows feet but it does nothing for these lines. Maybe I just haven't found the right injector...is there a certain technique used for Botox and these lines?? I use Retin A at night .05 and a great moisturizer and CE Ferulic and glycolic cream w/ sunscreen in am.
